This is a Shikamaru x Temari fic. I hope it turns out good.
I don't own Naruto, just this story and the crappy plots.
How to swim?Temari was most definitely a girl who could take care of herself. She kind of had too. There was nobody else around to do it. She also had to take care of her younger brother; Kankurou. With a busy father who just happened to be the Kazekage, that just how it turned out, even if there were people who looked after them in a way; like making certain that they ate and took a bath once in a while. Her other youngest brother had his own caretaker, their uncle Yashamaru. He appeared to be so kind towards Gaara.. That's not how it turned out though. He was the one who triggered Gaara's madness. But several years later, all it took to heal him was a blonde little loudmouth with a big heart. One of Gaara's first friends one could say. After Gaara became Kazekage, he got abducted by the Akatsuki. The ones to save him were the youth of Konoha. After being revived, Gaara and Naruto's bond grew even more. And so did Suna and Konoha's treaty. That was one of the reasons why she was to be located in Konoha now. The chuunin exam had just ended, and she felt relieved. It had been a stressful period. Troublesome..
She let out a little laugh. She had spent too much time with him. He had infiltrated her vocabulary. She wiggled her toes, and water splashed around her feet. It was a strange feeling to be totally surrounded by water. There weren't onsens like this in Suna. To be honest there wasn't much water at all. She was very surprised by how soothing the hot water felt. Her stressed muscles started to relax. Maybe she could try to go further out in the hot spring, where the water was deeper? She tightened the towel she had wrapped around her body and got up. "I've never tried this before" she spoke out half-loudly to herself. She started to walk slowly towards the deep end of the spring, didn't want to rush herself. "Take your time" she thought. The water now reached her waist. Suddenly she felt very dizzy. The air wasn't very good here, full of damp and moist, plus the water was warmer. "Oh no, this is not going to end well.." then with a sigh, she fainted.
(A/N) Oh no! What's going to happen to Temari now?
